Kat Hing Wai (Chinese: 吉慶圍) is a Punti walled village in the Yuen Long District of Hong Kong.
[5] The Six-Day War (1899) was fought between the British Empire and the major punti clans of the New Territories in Hong Kong on 14–19 April 1899.
After the British defeated the punti clans, the iron gates were symbolically dismantled and shipped to London to be put on display.
As a family stronghold, Kat Hing Wai has served the Tangs well through the centuries, protecting the residents against bandits, rival clans, and wild tigers.
During the Qing dynasty, a five-metre high blue brick wall and four cannon towers were added to defend against bandits.
[7] In 2010, the entrance gate, the shrine, the four watchtowers and the enclosing walls of Kat Hing Wai were collectively listed as Grade I historic buildings.
